List of Ugly Betty episodes

"Blue on Blue" is an episode from the dramedy series Ugly Betty, which aired on October 23, 2009. It is the third episode from Season 4, and the 68th episode overall.

The story begins with Betty helping out at Hilda's Beautilities, where she helps Hilda try to get money so Justin can attend private school. Betty mentions to the family that she has just been promoted to associate features editor, but at work, Betty is discovering how cruel Matt can be when she gets a bean bag for a seat at a meeting. Matt is also upset with Betty over the botched photo shoot, and now her job is on the line. However, thanks to a family friend named Sammy, Betty could get the break she might need when she learns of a Dolce & Gabbana designer, Evan Grant, leaving the company to join Gucci.

Marc tells Amanda about trying to get back at Betty by taking her job, a plot supported by Wilhelmina. So when he learns of Betty's job being in jeopardy, he gets wind of the interview that Hilda pitched to Betty via a three-way phone call. Marc tries to sabotage it by any means necessary, he finds himself trying to be friendly to Betty while pulling out all the stops to find out how to steal the interview, even after getting a birthday cake from her (which he doesn't like). Later that evening, Marc discovers Betty avoiding Matt, so he finds her weakness. That's when Marc comes up with the perfect plan: pair Amanda with Matt for a dinner date at the same restaurant that Betty was going to that evening. To the two, they think it's just that, a dinner date, even as Marc uses that ruse so Betty can be jealous of Matt while Amanda can get Marc the scoop from Betty, without the three finding out.

At the restaurant, the dinner between Betty and Evan goes off very well, especially with Hilda and Ignacio as waitress and chef. But the evening becomes more interesting when Matt and Amanda show up. Betty and Matt try to keep their distance even as Hilda interferes. Betty is not happy about what Hilda is doing even after lying to Matt about Betty dating another guy. Betty at the same time suspects that Matt and Amanda are also dating, leading the two to become very suspicious of other each and try to one up each other. This reaches boiling point when Evan ends the dinner, followed by Matt arguing with Betty, and Amanda, believing that Matt wanted to date her so she can make Betty jealous, walks out after telling him that she was not interested. After Matt and Betty are brought into the kitchen by Hilda to talk, Betty tells Matt that she tried to get him an interview, but Matt inadvertently ended all hopes for landing the story. Angry, she tell Matt that he is a spoiled brat and he only cares about the end of their relationship because, for once, he didn't get his way. Matt in turn admits that he was a little jealous of her happiness and that he might have taken it too far.
